Forward Odion Ighalo has extended his loan deal at Manchester United until January 2021.

Ighalo, 30, joined United in January from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, initially until 31 May.

There is no option for the Premier League club to buy the Nigeria international.

"It's been a dream for him and hopefully he can finish what he started and win a trophy with us," said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

"Shanghai Shenua have been great towards us, allowing him to play for his dream club."

Ighalo has scored four times in eight appearances for the Old Trafford side, including a goal in the 5-0 Europa League win over LASK on 12 March, which was United's last competitive match before the season was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Premier League season is set to resume on 17 June.

United are fifth in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea with nine games to play.

Solskjaer's side are also in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and have that five-goal lead going into the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie against LASK.

There's absolutely no need for the lock down to continue. Also ban on inter state movement should be lifted. We can't continue like this.

I'm not surprised at all, there are simply doing what they know how to do best.

RIP

Nice one from the governor.
I'm equally expecting FG to tow this path.

Ganduje and Obasa are from south South south east

This is barbaric. How can you sack people who knew nothing about what one power drunk man did.

A very good idea

Nigerian government has taken advantage of it to steal.

It's real but can never hurt us. There are just exaggerating the figures to create fear and panic.

Stories....

This NCDC is desperately seeking for avenues to strike fear and keep detaining Nigerians at home while cashing out big time.

Mauro Icardi goes for goal against Bordeaux
Icardi is the 16th Argentine to play for PSG
French champions Paris St-Germain have signed striker Mauro Icardi for 60m euros (£54m) from Inter Milan.

The 27-year-old Argentina international joined PSG in September on a season-long loan with a buy-out option.

The new deal means he will be at the French side until June 2024.

Icardi scored 20 goals in 31 matches in all competitions before the French season was officially ended on 30 April with 10 games remaining because of the coronavirus pandemic.

He has been competing for a place in the side with Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani, PSG's all-time top scorer, whose contract expires on 30 June.

A statement from Inter said: "FC Internazionale Milano announces the transfer of Mauro Icardi to Paris Saint-Germain FC: the striker, born in 1993, has permanently moved to the French club.

"The club thanks the player for the six seasons he spent with us and wishes him the best for his future professional career."

This two can't be compared. Udom is a massive failure as far as I'm concern. The only achievement he can boost of is prompt payment of salaries which Akpabio even did better.

Comparing this two is an insult on the sensibility of all Akwaibomites.

It's a very big insult comparing this two.

Incredibly bad

Governor Ben Ayade of Cross Rivers state has said that the global Coronavirus pandemic has become a full-scale business for some people and that the world is using it to exploit Africa and Nigeria in particular.

The governor stated this when he appeared on Channels TV on Thurday May 21.

Speaking on why his state has not conducted random testing as observed in many other states in the country, the governor argued that the test currently being conducted to diagnose the viral disease in the country ''lacks reproducibility and reliability''.

The governor who has a Ph.D in Environmental Microbiology, went on to state that the Coronavirus pandemic has turned into a full-scale business for some people.

According to him, his Chinese friend residing in Switzerland recently told him that he has made so much money importing reagents out of the Philippines.

''Out there in the Western world, there is a businessman fanning all of this, making sure they sell reagents. Indeed, my friend out of Switzerland, a Chinese, says he has made so much money importing reagents out of Philipines and shipping to the world.

So it has turned into a full-scale business.

Why will I be testing somebody who has not come in contact with somebody who has caught the virus? I will only test you when I have reasons to, when I have seen symptom.

If NCDC continues to lower the criteria just to get more people tested, I begin to wonder because we have to exhaust the entire accounts of this country to be able to support the testing regime.

I think I cannot follow blindly. I must lead from the front because I am exposed, I am smart and I know what I need.

I can tell you this testing for Coronavirus has gone Ecopolitical. In the US for example, it is about the November elections and for some businessmen, it is about more reagents, more money. But for me, it is science, it is reality and becaue a wrong mentality will give you a wrong reality, I will hold the right mentality. Only contact tracing can help you identify those to be tested. I am a scientist please''

When asked if in Nigeria we are being exploited via the pandemic, he responded

Of course no doubt about that. No doubt about that at all.

You don't have to be a scientist to see the loopholes and business elements. Why can't Nigeria produce her test kits? Why can't we have our own vaccination plants to produce our vaccines? Nigerians are endowned. Very intelligent people by nature. ''

Speaking further, he said

''Malaria and Coronavirus share so much in common that for us in Malaria endemic world, we are naturally almost immuned to the Coronavirus. Even our own temperature here is such that when you sneeze, the virus escapes and it is escaping into hell fire because it can't stand an atmospheric temperature of 32?. Sometimes in Nigeria we go up to 42?. I just sympathize with this our follow the west syndrome and I think the time has come for us to change that completely. We are really being exploited as a continent. Nigerians are being exploited, Africans are being exploited. We must shut our doors.

CHINA'S EVIL PLAN FOR AFRICA

By the year 2050, according to the metrics of continental geopolitical ethnography, Western Europe will become a Muslim enclave and Africa will become a Chinese continent. While European leaders are taking steps to reverse this trend, African leaders, instead of setting up a "sinking fund" are just happy to revel in their own batty.

Fact 1: Compared to Africa, communist China is a little country, indeed Africa is about five times the size of China. However, the population of China is roughly two billion, same as the population of Africa. Fact 2: In terms of mineral resources, Africa is the world's richest continent, and it is a hundred times richer than China. Fact 3: China wants Africa's land and resources by hook or crook means to ensure the survival of the Chinese race.

The Chinese communist party's policy for Africa is a POPULATION SWAP solution that will ensure the survival of the Chinese race. As laid out in an obnoxious instrument, China intends to send half a billion people into Africa before the end of year 2040 and these families will be encouraged to bear four to five children so that by year 2050 there will be over 2 billion Chinese in Africa. During that same period, African population is strangely projected to decrease by some unknown occurrences. End game, the Chinese population in Africa will surpass the African population by 2050. China will effectively own the African continent and its resources. End of story.

As at end of year 2019, over 50 million Chinese citizen have already being pushed onto the African continent, most of them hardened criminals taken out of jails. There are about 2.5 million in South Africa, about 2 million in Nigeria, over a million each in Ghana and Ivory Coast etc. There are pockets of them everywhere in 54 African countries. I understand that South Africa has now cancelled all Chinese visas.

In readiness for the takeover, the Chinese are snapping up African seaports and airports. Their "modus operandi", is to grant African countries some toxic loans to build their much needed infrastructure and get African leaders to sign a shrouded contract, written in Mandarin, that will permanently transfer the ownership of these ports to the Chinese nation. Kudos to the eagle eyed President John Magufuli of Tanzania who tore up a contract signed by his predecessor and told the Chinese to go home.

In Djibouti, the Chinese deceptively took that small country's seaport off them and set it up as a military base. There is a military buildup going on there now as the US have also setup a base there to keep the communists in check.

China is pushing hard to get their citizens into the police force of all African countries. Zambia recently commissioned two Chinese nationals into their police force but had to take the uniforms off them after public outrage. There are Mandarin speaking Chinese police officers roaming the streets in South Africa, they even have their own police stations, and can arrest, detain and interrogate offenders in SA, including South Africans.

In all African countries this is standard Chinese policy, in fact, most Chinese companies in Africa have fully armed Chinese security guards who from time to time turn their weapons on Africans. There was a recent incidence in SA where a Chinese employer locked up his workers under the guard of Chinese security and forced them to work for one week against their will.

In Mozambique, the Chinese built a whole city of about 400,000 houses, Mozambicans are not allowed in there, only the Chinese. There are similar Chinese cities like this in other African countries.

In Nigeria, the Chinese are hiding in mineral rich rural areas and are heavily involved in illegal mining, 17 of them were recently arrested in Osun while another two were arrested in Zamfara. There are many more hiding in the rural communities where they are protected by powerful tin gods. In Lagos state, Mandarin, the Chinese language has being introduced into the secondary school curriculum.

China has over the years put itself forward as a geriatric Santa Klaus, who wants to help Africa grow, but after we saw the way Africans were molested in China during the Covid19 debacle, we now understand their true intensions. They want our resources but they don't want us. Africans were dragged out of their hotels, denied access to hospitals, eateries and were not even allowed into supermarkets. Some were chased down the streets and beaten blue black by the communist police. There was an art gallery where we saw the Chinese comparing us to monkeys, and that gallery has not yet being pulled down.

For all Africans, its time to take action, to stop the Chinese influx into Africa, to stop the illegal mining of our mineral resources, to stop the ongoing dehumanisation of Africans on our own soils, we need to pay attention, if we don't want to pay the price. China is not a friend of Africa, and we do not need China. China has only one diabolical intention, they want to take what is ours, they want to lay claim to our inheritance.

Heartbreaking

Opportunity for Obasa to filled up the existing 64 bank accounts or perhaps open new ones with different names

This government is taking Nigerians for granted. Last week it was school feeding program now is laptop.

The ongoing looting in this administration is quite alarming.

He was caught by gentle men. Try this at Urua Ekpa and see yourself being burnt to ashes.

Mr Usuah did the right thing. I'll do same if I was in his shoes.

Shun cultism, it doesn't pay. Imagine a whole lecturer wasted for nothing.

I really pity those innocent triplets and the wife

I'm not surprised at all. If there can harass medical personnel on essential duty, taxi drivers will not be excluded.

Just for chicken change in this hard time

Nepotism at its best
